Jeffrey picked up the report and glanced at it briefly, noting just two short items on the list.
The first line read: Blood Type ABO — O The second line read: Blood Type Rh (D) — Negative (+) "What's this about?" "The kid's got Type O blood." Jeffrey furrowed his brow, his face a picture of exasperation. "Do you really think I'm in the mood to care about what blood type she is?" He was on the verge of losing his mind! Everett, clearly more annoyed than Jeffrey but still patient, continued.
"At the company's mandatory health check-up, | remember you're Type AB." "Yeah? Can't remember." Jeffrey tossed the lab report aside and leaned back, closing his eyes, "As long as the check-up didn't show any serious illness, why should | remember this stuff?" Everett, frustrated by his friend's attitude, simply turned away and looked out the car window.

Jeffrey was nearly dozing off when he suddenly jolted awake.
"Wait a minute, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?" Everett wasn't one to beat around the bush.
He picked up the lab report again, scrutinized it, but still couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Everett spoke in a detached tone, as if discussing the weather, "Grab your phone, hit up Google, and look up what blood types the parents need to have to produce a Type O child." "I'm AB, so maybe Paige is O. The kid probably got her blood type." While Jeffrey spoke, he had already started searching on his phone.
Everett couldn't believe he had such a dense friend, whose school knowledge seemed to have gone with the wind.
"If either parent is Type AB, they can't possibly have a Type O child." Jeffrey sharply looked up and asked, "Are you serious?" "Just kidding." Everett's phone screen lit up at that moment with a call from Kevin.
"Mr. Lopez, I've sent the info you asked for to your phone!" "Got it." After hanging up, Everett glanced at the image on his phone and forwarded it to Jeffrey.

In bold letters, it read: Blood Type: AB.
"Damn!" Jeffrey cursed instinctively as he saw it, and in his haste to stand up, he banged his head hard against the car roof, "Ouch, that hurts!" Everett frowned, gave him a stern look. "Did you accept the kid without a paternity test?" Jeffrey, without thinking, blurted out, "Didn't you accept Abigail and Langston without a test either?” "Get out of the car, now." "No, wait!" Jeffrey quickly pleaded, "My bad, I'm off to the hospital to get it checked right now!" This revelation felt like a lifeline to Jeffrey, and he was so grateful he could have kissed Everett.
If Paige's kid wasn't his...
Well, that would just be fantastic! Just the thought had Jeffrey's hands shaking with anticipation.
"Get going." "Right, right, I'm on it!" Jeffrey hurried out of the car and sprinted toward his own.
Halfway there, he suddenly turned back and knocked on Everett's car window.
"Hey, Everett..." Without even looking up, Everett said, "I'll stay here and watch. If Karen leaves, I'll let you know." Jeffrey instantly squinted his eyes and smiled. "Everett, how can you be so damn charming! | absolutely adore you! If | were a woman, I'd marry you in a heartbeat!" "Get lost."
